Board directors are under a lot of pressure. They know that it’s only a matter of time before their organization suffers a cyber incident, and all eyes will naturally be on the directors themselves to see if they were properly exercising their risk oversight.

Directors also know that all interactions with the CISO will be subject to close scrutiny in the aftermath of a breach. But with the right mix of security education, communication and help from outside experts, executives can fill cyber risk awareness gaps and achieve compliance with a growing number of privacy and risk regulations.
